Well, these figures show the true and sustained cost of trawling and what a destructive and indiscriminate method of fishing it is.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019re calling on the Government to ban bottom trawling from where it does the most harm, those vulnerable areas like seamounts where coral flourish, and for New Zealand trawlers to stop bottom trawling in the South Pacific.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;These figures, especially for coral, are just the tip of the iceberg. Research shows that the vast majority of corals killed by trawlers don\u2019t even make it into the nets. They remain as rubble on the seafloor,&#8221; says Parada.<\/p>\n\n<p>For example, using an equation scientists use to estimate trawling damage to coral on the seafloor, 34 kg of gorgonian coral pulled up in a trawl net, which is what the Tasman Viking recently pulled up, could equate to between 17 and 340 tonnes being impacted on the seabed. (1)<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;In the middle of a biodiversity crisis, it\u2019s appalling that the New Zealand government continues to allow bottom trawling on seamounts when we know that these are hot spots of corals and other deep sea life,&#8221; said Karli Thomas of the Deep Sea Conservation Coalition.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;New Zealand is now the only country still bottom trawling in the South Pacific high seas &#8211; we need to stop being an obstacle to coral conservation and join other Pacific nations in protecting these vital ocean ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;New Zealanders are calling for trawling to be banned from where it does the most harm. Survey data shows that nearly 80% of people want trawling gone from seamounts (2) and 73% want New Zealand to stop trawling in the South Pacific &#8211; that includes 75% of NZ First voters. (3)<\/p>\n\n<p>Says Parada: &#8220;It\u2019s time the Luxon government listened to the people and put ocean protection before fishing industry profit.&#8221;<\/p>\n\t\t\t<section\n\t\t\tclass=\"boxout post-61002  sticky-bottom-mobile collapse show\"\n\t\t\tid=\"action-card\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-action=\"Image\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"cover-card-overlay\"\n\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/petition\/create-global-ocean-sanctuaries\/\" \n\t\t\t><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2023\/09\/3c7346f5-gp018ov_medium_res-1024x724.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2023\/09\/3c7346f5-gp018ov_medium_res-600x424.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2023\/09\/3c7346f5-gp018ov_medium_res-1024x724.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2023\/09\/3c7346f5-gp018ov_medium_res-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2023\/09\/3c7346f5-gp018ov_medium_res-481x340.jpg 481w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2023\/09\/3c7346f5-gp018ov_medium_res.jpg 1200w\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 358px, (min-width: 780px) 313px, 88px\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"\" title=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\/>\n            \t\t\t<div class=\"boxout-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"boxout-heading medium\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-action=\"Title\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/petition\/create-global-ocean-sanctuaries\/\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tPETITION: Create global ocean sanctuaries\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"boxout-excerpt\">Call on the Foreign Affairs Minister Winston Peters to create new global ocean sanctuaries and protect our blue planet.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t                                    <a\n                        class=\"btn btn-primary\"\n                        data-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n                        data-ga-action=\"Call to Action\"\n                        data-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n                        href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/petition\/create-global-ocean-sanctuaries\/\"\n                        \n                    >\n                        Sign the petition\n                    <\/a>\n                \t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"not-now\"\n\t\t\t\t\trole=\"button\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-bs-toggle=\"collapse\"\n\t\t\t\t\thref=\"#action-card\"\n\t\t\t\t><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/section>\n\t\n<p><strong>Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>1.

Born in Colombia, Juan has lived in T\u0101maki Makaurau since 2012. He has had a deep appreciation for ocean ecosystems since his teenage years when he started scuba diving in the tropical waters around Colombian coasts. He believes the ocean is the source of all life on our planet and every living creature, including humans, depend on its health for survival. Educated as a film and digital media producer he is keenly aware of the importance of storytelling to rally people power around a common cause. His professional experience includes news, documentaries, films and tv shows of all kinds but his true passion lies in inspiring people to stand up in solidarity for the environment and social justice. Other causes he advocates for are better cycling infrastructure, peace, clean indoor air and public health awareness.
